DYCSoccer17 (2734) - Woodland, California, USA - JUL 1, 2008
12 ounce bottle from a mixed 6 pack that was purchased at the Davis Food Co-op. Aroma has an odd, musty, rubbery characteristic. The more this is swirled, the more yeast esters come out in the aroma with a bit of sweetness. Not overly appealing aroma. Mildly hazy golden body with a very large frothy white head. Too large of a head. Overly carbonated start, which becomes corn-like and grainy. Some metallic flavors late with some fusels and dry ethanolic flavors. This is very similar to a macro malt liquor. Not very good at all.

Wonderful thick frothy head on a canary yellow pour with strong carbonation.Aroma salt sea air,coriander,clove,orange and cinnamon.Flavour orange coriander clove figs.A sweet mellow to a triple that is fairly decent.The alcohol volume is well blotted out by good flavour.Fruity flavours give it a good lift.The finish is tangy fruity with a mellow ending.

BritAlesRule (167) - Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA - JUN 21, 2008
Massive head on pour. I’ve seen some Wits that were this color. Yeasty, slightly hoppy concoction. Like it’s bretheren, it has mild underlying fruits in the nose, but nothing that jumps out. A slightly bitter bite on first sip that I did not expect. As dry as can be and good balance, so could be a favorite to some.

elihapa (1369) - Honolulu, Hawaii, USA - JUN 19, 2008
bottle. Pours a champagne golden color with a huge puffy white head. Aroma of oranges, hops, and yeast, all a touch on the light side for this style. Flavor initially is soft and sweet. I noted especially the yeast and spice base here. Knd of difficult to make out the flavors because the carbonation was so intense. Finished with a dry bitterness of hops, alcohol and earthiness. OK, but lacks crispness and balance.

Maria (7805) - Thisted, DENMARK - JUN 16, 2008
Courtesy of Fonefan. Golden with a huge, white head, a bit big-bubbly though. The aroma has sweetness and notes of spice and malt. The flavour has sweetness, notes of spices, yeast, citrus and malt and it ends on a sweet and dry note.

Decent brew. Poured a clear yellow with white head. Aroma of banana, bread and yeast. Sweet taste of fruits and banana. Smooth finish, very drinkable.
